to meet the lady of the white house at
his country home, "Wooten, " near Bryn
Mawr, on the Pennsylvania railroad.
The guests were conveyed to Bryn Mawr
station by special train of ten hand
somely equipped coaches, including
President Roberts private coach, which
was occupied by Mrs. Cleveland. Mrs.
Child s and few friends Upon reach
ing the above named station some sixty
conveyances were in waiting for the dis
tinguished party. Mr.. Struthers, the
famous Philadelphia builder, neighbor
OF Mr.. Childs, was also in waiting with
his handsome Tally-ho and four spank
ing horses. To this vehicle Mrs. GIeve-
land, Secretary Bayard, Gen. Phil Sher-
idan, young Mrs. Drexel, Mrs. Lamont.
Col and Mrs. Fred Grant were escorted.
Without the slightest hesitation the
mistress of the White house mounted
the box of the Tally-ho and sat by the
side of Mr.. Struthers. The remainder
of the party, including Mrs. Childs, fol,
lowed her example and occupied the adj
joining seats. The signal to start being
given the high steppers attached to the
Tally-ho started off at quick pace and
rapidly drew away from the other vehi-

quickly sprang to her feet, laughing
merrily, amid round after round of APP .
